Solo durante el día de hoy estará disponible para su descarga gratuita “Pen Pal” de Francesca Forrester. Aquí os dejo la sinopsis:
Pen Pal starts with a message in a bottle and ends with revolution.
Em, a child from a floating community off the Gulf Coast, drops a message into the sea. It ends up in the hands of Kaya, an activist on the other side of the world, imprisoned above the molten lava of the Ruby Lake. Em and Kaya are both living precarious lives, at the mercy of societal, natural, and perhaps supernatural forces beyond their control. Kaya’s letters inspire Em, and Em’s comfort Kaya—but soon their correspondence becomes more than personal. Individual lives, communities, and the fate of an entire nation will be changed by this exchange of letters.
Pen Pal is a story of friendship and bravery across age, distance, and culture, at the intersection of the natural and supernatural world.
Los libros de Cory Doctorow suelen estar disponibles de forma gratuita en su propia página web, pero en esta ocasión el autor canadiense nos ofrece en formato podcast el audiolibro “Someone comes to town, someone leaves town”.
Aquí os dejo la sinopsis del libro:
This is a fantasy novel about a man whose father is a mountain and whose mother is a washing machine, who moves from small-town Ontario to Toronto to help build a citywide meshing wireless network with a crustypunk dumpster-diver.
Parece un poco alejado de sus temáticas habituales, pero creo que le voy a dar una oportunidad.
Ya tuvimos acceso de forma gratuita a esta dos novellas cuando se anunciaron los nominados a los premios Nebula pero ahora, desde Tor.com, nos informan que se pueden descargar gratis en formato ebook, lo cual lo hace todavía más cómodo.

Durante el día de hoy se puede descargar de forma gratuita el libro “Slingers” del autor Matt Wallace. Aquí os pongo la sinopsis :
Meet Nico. He’s currently falling 30,000 feet above the city of Hanoi to his death while the entire world watches.
And they can’t wait to see him hit the ground.
Welcome to Sling City, an arena in space where Judokas, sumo wrestlers, football stars, and stick fighters compete in the global combat sport of the future. Sling City is more than a stadium, it’s an entire microcosmic world filled with its own cultures, traditions, wars, and secrets. Some of those secrets are about to get out, and while all eyes watch the action-packed struggle of The Games take place, the men and women who compete in those games will have to unravel a disturbing mystery that’s cropped up at the heart of the home where they live, work, play… and die.
SLINGERS is the beginning of an exciting new five-part ebook series from the author of THE FAILED CITIES and SUNDAE.

Once a brilliant First-in Scout, Val Con yos’Phelium was “recruited” by the mysterious Liaden Department of Interior and brainwashed into an Agent of Change—a ruthless covert operative who kills without remorse.
Fleeing the scene of his latest murderous mission, he finds himself saving the life of ex-mercenary Miri Robertson, a tough Terran on the run from a team of interplanetary assassins. Thrown together by circumstances, Val Con and Miri struggle to elude their enemies and stay alive without slaying each other—or surrendering to the unexpected passion that flares between them.
Durante tiempo limitado está disponible para su descarga gratuita en Amazon el libro Ya no está disponible para su descarga gratuita, como me ha hecho saber el autor “Heaven is a place on Earth” de Graham Storrs, Esta es su sinopsis:
Ginny had only dated the enigmatic Cal Coplin a couple of times when the police arrived to question her about him. He’d disappeared – something that should be completely impossible in the late 21st century when everyone was electronically tagged. And then Ginny received a recorded message from Cal, asking her to deliver a small package for him. Her decision to help him plunges Ginny into a world of fear, corruption, and massive deception. On the run from the police, a dangerous terrorist organisation, and a shadowy corporation, Ginny struggles to stay alive and free while she tries to understand what is happening and prevent a deadly attack on the government. But in a world dominated by augmented and virtual realities, nothing is as it seems, and the deception runs deeper than anyone could imagine.
